The L.A.-based rapper shares her kassgocrazy-produced track
Belis has been refining her consistency as of late. With the infectiously catchy hits like, “HYSTERICAL GLAMOUR,” “LEMONADE,” and “KILL BILL” under her belt, the 19-year-old Charlotte native continues to show the world she can (and will) pave her own path. Just a month after the release of“Venice,” she has returned with the hypnotic “STARSTRUCK.”
Compared to the rest of her discography, “STARSTRUCK” is noticeably unhurried, thanks to a slowly swaying instrumental produced by kassgocrazy of motorsporteam. A panning synth pairs with high octave plucks and a sentimental flute to set the stage for her chorus. “I don’t live in Hollywood, I’m in a state of mind / I be doin’ all this shit but I’m on my own time,” she harmonizes, explaining her mindset as both her career and cult-like following continue to flourish. It is crucial to note the charisma she maintains too, effortlessly switching gears from a well-paced first verse to an unforeseen flurry for her second. Nonetheless, this sudden flow is just as, if not more, catchy. Plus, she includes gaudy yet playful lines in typical Belis fashion, like, “I do not drive, I’ma buy him a foreign.” On “STARSTRUCK,” Belis once again showcases her ability to utilize a song’s instrumental to its fullest potential, aligning her one-of-a-kind harmonics with the 808-line to craft the ultimate groove.
